Orthodox Choreographies
- Jerusalem, Coexistence, and the Holy Sepulchre
Join us on Thursday 19
March 2026, 18:00 (GMT), at the Woolf Institute for an informal Cambridge
launch of Orthodox Choreographies by Revd Dr George Tsourous (Archdeacon of the
Archdiocese of Thyateira and Great Britain).
This event marks an
informal Cambridge launch of Orthodox Choreographies by Dr Tsourous, an
anthropological study of Christian life and inter-communal dynamics in
Jerusalem’s Old City.
The evening will begin
with a broad framing of coexistence in Jerusalem, with attention to the lived
experience of Palestinian Christians and the ways belonging is navigated in a
city shaped by layered histories, institutions, and competing claims.
It will then move to
the Church of the Holy Sepulchre as a case study of shared space in practice -
a site where spatial choreography and sacred materiality play an active role in
sustaining (and sometimes straining) relations. A respondent-led conversation
will follow the talk, before opening to Q&A.
This event is co-hosted
by the Institute for Orthodox Christian Studies and the Woolf Institute.
